Upcoming War

We’ll get involved because of two of the most powerful lobbies who stand to benefit - the pro-Israel lobby and the weapons manufacturer lobby. And it will somehow be spun as patriotic and in the interests of national security.

Do we think this is getting started to boost the economy?

Well since you brought it up. From an economic standpoint, I'm pro-war all the way.

War is good for defense contractors and all those "trickle down" subcontractors. This means war is good for employment and higher paying jobs. Which in turn is good for the economy. More people working means more people spending. War is good for the stock market, which means it's good for my investment portfolio.

Lots of good things come to Americans when we go to war.

Now the downside is that Americans are killed and wounded for reasons that don't have jackshit to do with preserving freedom or the American way of life or whatever else. But over the last 25 years or so of Middle Eastern, for profit corporate war, we've all learned that some dead Americans is a small price to pay for the good economic times war brings to us all.

In my lifetime, not one American serviceman has died for my freedom, but they've sure as shite died for my investment accounts.

Wall Street and every publicly traded defense contractor in this country thanks them for their sacrifice.

Who u think is the biggest user of fossil fuels in war time…..USA

Truck Nuts [ON] OFF.
Plant boys fixin’ to eat son!

That’s very diabolical to support us being a nation dependent upon military defense contractors at the cost of the lives of millions of people

I hope we don’t.

But if so, this would be as worthy a cause as any conflict we’ve been involved in since WW2.

There will be no war that involves us. I’m ok with the following actions on our part:

Bunker buster bombs to reduce or end any threat of a nuclear capability by Iran. These bombings should not be half assed but be well informed and with documented information.

Complete control of airspace over Iran to destroy any capability to attack any American base in a nearby country.

Our ability to enter Iran and verify that any and all nuclear capability has been destroyed.

That’s all that I’m asking for.

War = Unlimited overtime for DoD employees and defense contractors.

Dropping a few bunker busters on nuke sites of an obsolete regime is hardly “war”

Try harder.

Can one of you chuckleheads please explain to me how bombing a nuclear plant is “war”?

If another nation bombed ours you’d think it was an act of war.
